2017 Helm Premium Cabernet Sauvignon
Midnight black in colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Delightful blackcurrant aromas subtlety infused with black olives are followed by vanillin cedar, tobacco, dried herb and delicate spicy earth notes. Medium to full in body, rich blackcurrant fruits team up with some liquorice, earthy tobacco, vanillin cedar, black olive and spicy dried herb characters to deliver a complex flavour profile. Gently firm but otherwise beautifully integrated tannins lead into a long expressive yet refined aftertaste.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 13.5%
Other Reviews…..
From the Lustenberger Vineyard, matured for 2 years in oak, this a selection of the best barrels. It has ripe cassis/blackcurrant fruit with no hint of mint or green notes. It is medium-bodied, and has effortless length, with the tannins adding to the quality. Drink by 2037.
